Tonight's result proves the political revolution is real-AND GROWING

Even if HRC does end up slightly ahead at the end(we still don't know that at this point), this result is that Bernie's showing, pushing the "inevitable" candidate into a dead heat shows that nothing the party insiders thought was certain is certain at all.

This campaign will go on for a long time now, and I think we will see a shift away from HRC in all demographics in a lot of Super Tuesday states now. And Bernie is a lock in New Hampshire.

Also, I read something interesting today or yesterday, that Obama only had 20 something percent support from AA before Iowa and Hillary was easily getting their majority, but after Iowa, once it became clear that he was a viable candidate, his AA support jumped to over 50%, or by 50%, I can't remember the exact numbers or where I read it.

But if the same type of thing occurs for Bernie - though I would expect a smaller jump, but a bigger jump overall - he will take it all the way.
